It's Black Friday for our American neighbours who celebrated Thanksgiving
this week. BlackFriday is so named because retailers will do anything to attract
shoppers attention, slashing prices to get people in the door (brick and
digital), and so today ends up being a massive shopping rush. The "black" bit
refers to the first day of the year a store's ledger goes into the black and
the company makes money. History is all well and good, but it's the
shopping details and stuff you're interested in right?
